Mark Your Bikes, Barnard

If you have a bike, and you store it at Barnard, you may wake up on Tuesday to find it suddenly gone. Don’t worry, though, it’s not being sold in another borough. Barnard is conducting a bike toss on Tuesday, getting rid of any bikes that are being improperly stored on campus. Apparently, “misuse of this installation for permanent bike storage, or transient bike storage in unauthorized areas is unsightly, and in some cases unsafe.”

How do you go about saving your bike from destruction? According to Barnard’s Facebook note, aspiring Lance Armstrongs need to move their bikes to the 117th Street bike rack, and attach an “Active Tag,” available from Barnard Facilities. Otherwise, all the effort to avoid theft may go for naught.
